The Story
The Cheagle combines the Chihuahua with the Beagle — a small but bold and energetic cross. The Chihuahua contributes loyalty, boldness, and the tendency toward strong single-person bonding; the Beagle contributes a powerful scenting instinct, pack sociability, and vocality. The result is a lively, curious, sometimes stubborn small dog that needs more exercise than most people expect for its size. The Beagle's scenting instinct makes it a nose-first dog that can be challenging to recall.
